    Omar Abdullah takes oath as the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir at Sher-i-Kashmir International Conference Centre (SKICC) in Srinagar.

    The oath-taking took place at the Sher-i-Kashmir International Convention Centre (SKICC) in Srinagar. Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha administered the oath of office and secrecy to Omar Abdullah and his council of ministers. Security has been heightened around Abdullah’s residence and key areas in Srinagar ahead of the event.

    In an invitation letter shared by Omar Abdullah on X from LG Manoj Sinha, it said, “I have received a letter of 11th October, 2024 from Dr. Farooq Abdullah, President, Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, wherein it has been informed that you have been unanimously elected as Leader of the Legislature Party.”

    Congress-NC Alliance Secures Victory

    This significant political moment comes after the Congress-National Conference (NC) alliance secured a majority in the recently concluded Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections. The coalition won a total of 48 seats, with the National Conference emerging victorious in 42 constituencies, while the Congress secured 6.

    The formation of the new government marks the first elected administration in Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370 and the reorganization of the state into two Union Territories in 2019.

    A Legacy of Leadership

    Omar Abdullah’s political journey is deeply rooted in the history of Jammu and Kashmir. His grandfather, Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, was the first Prime Minister of Jammu and Kashmir after its accession to India and later served as the Chief Minister.

    His father, Dr. Farooq Abdullah, has held the position of Chief Minister three times. Omar himself previously served as Chief Minister of the erstwhile state from 2009 to 2015 and was also the Union Minister of State for External Affairs under former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government from 2001 to 2002.

    End of Presidential Rule in J&K

    Jammu and Kashmir had been under President’s rule since 2018 after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) withdrew its support from the coalition government led by Mehbooba Mufti of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). The recent revocation of President’s rule in Jammu and Kashmir has paved the way for the formation of a new government, following the successful assembly elections.

Notable leaders present include Akhilesh Yadav, President of the Samajwadi Party; Supriya Sule, working president of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP); Prakash Karat from the Communist Party of India (Marxist); and DMK Deputy General Secretary Kanimozhi.

  • Conspiracy of ‘Lal Diary’ was hatched in BJP headquarters: Ashok Gehlot

    Conspiracy of 'Lal Diary' was hatched in BJP headquarters: Ashok Gehlot

    Jaipur:

    Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the BJP, alleging that the ‘Lal Diary’ conspiracy was hatched at the BJP headquarters, but it failed. Gehlot said that Amit Shah, JP Nadda, Dharmendra Pradhan, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Zafar Islam were involved in the conspiracy related to ‘Lal Diary’ to topple the government. He said, “They (BJP) are toppling the elected government, they have no moral right to remain in power.” They toppled elected governments in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. Then what is the meaning of elections?

    It is noteworthy that Rajendra Gudha, the then minister of Gehlot government, had targeted the state government on crimes against women in the Assembly in July, after which he was dismissed. He had claimed to have a red diary which allegedly contained details of the Chief Minister’s irregular financial transactions. In Jodhpur on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told the public in a questioning tone, “People say that every black act of corruption of Congress is in the Lal Diary. Should the dark secrets of Lal Diary be revealed or not? Should everything come out openly or not?

    Sacked minister Rajendra Gudha had claimed that it contained details of financial transactions of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. Gehlot also alleged that BJP leaders Amit Shah, Dharmendra Pradhan, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat had conspired to topple his government. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot was referring to the political crisis caused by the rebellion of the then Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot and 18 other Congress MLAs in 2020.

    Addressing a function at the Commerce College in Jaipur, Gehlot also hit out at the Prime Minister for targeting the Congress government for the communal riots in Jodhpur. Referring to the communal violence that took place in Jodhpur in May last year, the Prime Minister asked where the Chief Minister was when Jodhpur was burning.

    Responding to this, Gehlot said, “I regret that today the Prime Minister said in Jodhpur that when people were dying in this city, where was the Chief Minister?” Don’t know who gives them information? Not a single person died in Jodhpur, there was only communal tension in Karauli and Jodhpur.” In the program on Thursday, the Chief Minister released the ‘Vision Document’ of the ‘Mission 2030’ Master Plan and ‘Gig Workers’ Also announced a lump sum assistance of Rs 5000.

    He announced 90 percent concession in fare for women and girls on monthly travel passes in roadways buses. Gehlot also laid the foundation stone of works worth Rs 12,700 crore. He alleged that the Center has reduced the money given to the state. In the program, Gehlot announced to give a lump sum amount of Rs 5000 to the gig workers if they register with the state government. This amount will be given to them for the purchase of helmets, dresses, shoes and other items of daily use for the ‘gig workers’. Gig workers include ‘company representatives’, drivers etc. working with companies like Ola, Uber, Swiggy, Zomato. He said that all girls and women will be given 90 percent discount in bus fare if they get monthly roadways pass.
